02 WRX to 04 STI Brembo Conversion
I have some concerns with converting my 02 WRX Brakes to the 04 STI Brembo Big Brakes. Now I Know that the bolt pattern changed between the 04 STI and 05 for 5/100 to 5/114.3/ I have the right rotors. But I plan on upgrading to Endless two piece rotors. My question is will I need brakets for the calipers to fit on my stock slpindals or will I be able to just bolt the Brembo calipers up my Stock WRX Spindals? Will I have to switch out my spidals for the STI spindals? Other question is.... If the Calipers will fit on my WRX spindals; How do you adjust the parking braake to work on the bigger rotor> Because clearly the Rotor for the STI is bigger than the WRX. The diameter of the parking brakes is way bigger than the WRX. I don't see how it would work on the stock spindals of the WRX. I hope someone can help me with these questions.

Never mind this post. I got my answer from another thread I found.
